tricks > axis
I've been in the middle of a session and the axis board comes apart from the baseplate. over and over.
The alestorm drummer is a trick endoRsee and also plays the axis.
He sais he loves the trick, but for ultra fast stuff he prefers the axis.
He also said he doesn't like the axis on tour that much cause it's a bit annoying to set them up.
When we tracked the last record we actually recorded a little shoot out between the different pedals and beaters.
The fastest combination was the axis pedal with the trick beater, but the trick beater sounds very clicky and a little thin in the low end compared to a beater with more mass.
The sonic difference between beaters (although they were from the same material) was quite significant.
I think we ended up using axis pedals with some higher mass plastic beaters
